I Wanna Grow Old With You

From jumping out of cars while you are at the lights to dying surrounded by gays - we cover it all this week. We are getting high on the fumes of viral dubai chocolate, gay retirement homes and celebrating our favourite Auckland councillor as our Queen of the Week.

Live in front of Guy Montgomery

It's week one of the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and we are recording a day late and without a camera. We are so sorry. But it's a miracle the podcast happened.
